1132 pieces per hour
« on: February 01, 2015, 09:33:43 AM »
Last week we had a one color left chest to print so we cranked the new press up to see how fast it/we could run. We didn't last long LOL :o

875-900 seemed to be a pace that we could sustain for longer periods of time.

Just for fun  8)

same here 72 doz. hr is a pretty fast pace on my CH3D for long periods, but the unloader has the toughest time.

Nice! You think flooding while indexing makes things print faster?

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...

We had a newbie catching... we should have just let them drop :D

@ 1964GN....Was your pace quicker than the first job on this vid? I can't imagine keeping 1132 very long, much less this first job.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShrfsD1gjyY

I counted about 21 a minute on the 1st press (red one color). Without time for adhesive application or missed loadings, that would be about 1260. I didn't watch this entire video, Just the first 12 minutes and then skipped around to see a displayed speed on the One Color on Red. Didn't see one.

It doesn't look like a contest or anything out of the ordinary. "Just another day at the office."

Does anybody happen to know this shop?

P.S.  I LOVE my winged floods.  Maybe it woudn't matter so much on a huge run with white ink, FULL WIDE OPEN like this shop ran for this vid. But on the size of jobs I do, I wouldn't really even NEED to tape my screens, even though I always do.

Back in my press running days I always prided myself with the speed and I could work at while also maintaining good QC.  I could run the press by myself at 51dz/hr all day long.  I'm an athletic dude and loved every second of it.  With a good assistant I could do 83dz/hr (a speed my Gauntlet II just wanted to run at).  In the M&R competition I entered in Atlantic City 3 or 4 years ago we got the CH3 up to 143dz/hr.  Sure, my defect rate was higher than usual (6), but we still pumped out over 400 shirts in the 15 allotted minutes...which was only good enough for 4th place.

1132 pcs/hr is just under 94dz/hr.  At that point I found myself hitting the emergency stop more times than it was worth.  It's a lot better to print non-stop at 75dz/hr and not stop than 100dz/hr and hitting the e-stop every minute or two.

...as proud as I always was of my numbers I can't hold a candle to the record holders.  Simply mind blowing stuff.

Is there a trick to "opening" the shirts? Would some kind of sticky fingers doohickey work?

I have more fumbles than Brett Favre on his worst day.

A fluffer?  That's a whole other industry, and this forum is PG.

Flip the hem of the next shirt you grab this works best for me, it opens the next shirt up, I'll try to post a vid of me doing this and post.
